8. Take care when walking on iceTake care when walking through icy conditions as slippery paths and pavements can be unsafe for anyone, but you should take extra care if you have mobility problems or suffer from dizziness or balance problems.

9. Stay active If you can, stay active – moving about will improve your circulation, generate heat and make you feel better.

10. Eat well and watch out for warmersIt is important to make sure you are eating and drinking properly, as this will keep your energy levels up and help your body to cope with the colder temperatures. Eat hot meals and plenty of fruit and vegetables. In addition, alcohol is often thought of as a “winter warmer”, but it can deceive you by making you feel warmer than you really are.
